OTA 3 suggestions: your wanted features

@rogier.oudshoorn
To add to the nextcloud / owncloud request. Apps for Notes and Bookmars which are synchronized with the Cloud would be awesome. -
@thepeter
Don't know it's just a request, actually we can install it with ubuntu silo installer, but... it's a dangerous way to modify our system. -
First, thanks for all the great work made on the OS by the ubports team, it's wonderfull !!!
I would like to see juste a little improvement of the design, for exemple :
return of translucidity of background of password in lockscreen with the clock and date on m10
possibility to start on desktop mode on the tablet (allowing to have shortcut and folde on desktop screen)
improvement of design of the scoopes for my video, my music...(size, presentation..) a little like it was on Ubuntu edge(or like the scope cinema by daniele)
a new scope my doc with the same design
a home scope highly customisable
thanks for the translucidity of the scoope it's perfect
different theme for the unity, like unity 7 (translucidity) and others
different animation effects when opening app and having one gesture to close directly an app
....
perhaps you have best ideas to make UT Ubports the most beautiful and customisable OS
thanks for all

- introduce left and right arrows in keyboard since to select a point in text (eg to correct a word) is really a pain

@TheUlpio said in OTA 3 suggestions: your wanted features:

Fully agreed. How someone at Canonical could invent a kbd w/o such keys and how could this pass any acceptense test?
-
@TheUlpio I think that "slideing idea", discussed a while ago, was quite interesting. I just would like to change it a little bit, and say that it would be better that you have to put the finger in the middle of the space key and reverse/forward the cursor by sliding left/right.
The advantage with that is that it can be used in combination with the gesture feature where you type words by sliding between the keys following the spelling of the word. -
@hans1977se Yes, this would be the more elegant choice, another option would be simply improve text area touch precision. I've installed android for a while on my phone and its keyboard has never shown inaccuracies
-
@TheUlpio Actually the only two real problems i see with the current keyboard are those ridiculously small markers that are not able to switch between position below and above text, and that very annoying automatic paste function.
Also auto-complete doesn't really work, but i'm not sure there is any phone in the world that does that well.
-
@hans1977se Well, on my BQ e4.5 using the keyboard involves 50% of typing errors. trying to tap on the wrong letter to correct it (right after the wrong letter, so i can delete it) is almost impossible. The smallest interval to move the marker is too big and involves 3-4 letters, so often is better to delete entire sentences than try to place the marker in the right place (also swipe markers is a pain). With android installed on the same phone this doesn't happen, no typing errors, so i never needed to try marker placement. (ah, i don't have so big fingers
-
Many good proposals, I just want to add -> full disk encryption.
-
@TheUlpio You should try tapping somewhere else first, and then try to tap where you want the cursor again. I usually get to the right position in maximum three tries that way.
-
@advocatux ...and support for ext4 fs on sdcard
-
Oh, I can think of one more suggestion:
- a built in possibility to resize images (in the gallery for example)
On my BQE5, the camera app only allows to take pictures with the full 19.5MP. Even in lowest picture quality that amounts to 7+MB per picture with the right motive.
It is no fun to send images via telegram if they are 7+MB. This huge size is useless for this use case.
And posting those pictures on twitter is nearly impossible because the twitter app crashes in 90% of tries to post such a huge picture.And I haven't found any app so far that can resize images.
-
you my hero
left right down up arrows in keyboard would be awesome. would make work with terminal lot easyer...
-
@hans1977se Another nifty option could be the way terminal app manages the cursor: doesn't matter where the finger is (on the selected line of course), the cursor moves according with the sliding (sorry for my really bad English). In this case the code is open source
-
@TheUlpio Yes, that is an option worth considering too. My only concern would be that it might interfere with selecting text.
No worries about the English, just post more clarification if you think i did not understand you the way you intended.
-
A good video player with support for all codecs.
-
View the multimedia contents directly in the scope.
Example:
I'm in the scope of youtube, I select a video and it automatically opens the browser.
That is frustrating.
Example 2:
Read a news in the scope news, open the browser.
If every time I select something in the scopes they open in the browser, what do they serve me? -
Maybe someone could make a table of all the good proposals or feature requests and we can all vote up/down the requests and have at the end a list what matters most.
